Definition

The Germplasms tab is used to delete DNA Germplasms from GDM.
Only users with "Superadmin" and "Admin" roles can perform a delete action.
Users with "User" role can only view DNA Germplasm information using this feature, and cannot delete any information

All delete actions are permanent and will impact GDM immediately.
It is highly recommended to back up data in GDM before proceeding, as actions performed in this tool are not reversible.

Filtering

Filters are used to reduce the records displayed in the table, and users can use this feature to only display records of interest. Use two or more filters to get an intersection list of Germplasms that meet all filtering criteria.

To filter records:

Go through each of the filters and set values in fields as desired.
Click on "Submit Query" button to apply filters.
To reset fields, click on "Clear" button. This will also clear out all filters.

Filter	Definition	Influence on other filters
Germplasm ID	Used to get records with specific database IDs. The first field is used to get all IDs greater than or equal to the specified ID, and the second is used to get IDs smaller than or equal to the specified ID. Use the two fields together to get IDs within a range	When a value for an ID Range is specified, It's corresponding Name list is disabled. (See photos in the warning below)
Germplasm Name	Use this filter to get records with specific names. Specify list of names with one line per name. Delimiters such as commas, colons and tables cannot be used in the list.	When a value for a Name list is specified, It's corresponding ID Range is disabled. (See photos in the warning below)

When a value for an ID Range is specified, It's corresponding Name list is disabled. And vice versa (See photo example below)

There is a small notch/arrow right below the submit query button (between the filters panel and the result table) that you can click to collapse the filters. It will result in a bigger view of the result table.

Clicking the downward arrows, on the far right of the Filters label, will revert back to the default view.

Deleting Germplasms

STEP 1 : FILTER

Use filters to reduce content of Germplasm records to desired ones.
Click on checkboxes of desired Germplasm records.

STEP 2: SELECT GERMPLASMS TO DELETE

Click on red "Delete Selected" button above table.
A confirmation box will pop-up with the list of files you have selected for deletion.
Click "Yes" to proceed, and "No" to abort.

STEP 3: PREREQUISITE CHECK

If "Yes" is selected, each of the Germplasms will be checked whether or not it is associated with a DNA Run or a DNA Sample. A warning will pop-up with a list of Germplasms that cannot be deleted and the DNA Runs or a DNA Samples with which they are associated. This list can also be exported to a file and be used as a reference.

A Germplasm cannot be deleted if it is associated with a DNA Run or a DNA Sample.

In the warning dialog, the DNA Run and DNA Sample ID will be enclosed in a parenthesis beside their corresponding name.

STEP 4: CONFIRM FINAL WARNING

If there are selected Germplasms that are not associated with a DNA Run and a DNA Sample, there will be a final warning to confirm permanent deletion.

If you click "Yes", a warning will pop-up alerting you that "This action is not reversible".
If you still want to continue, click "Yes", or click "No" to abort.
If you click "Yes", the selected Germplasms will be deleted and a pop-up of the summary will be displayed.

Deletion Summary

Upon completion of deletion, a summary page of what was deleted will be displayed and will contain:

Total number of rows deleted
Filtering criteria (This field will be empty if there was no search query performed prior to deleting the Germplasms)
